This title sequence presents the genre of horror through the use of iconography, throughout the title sequence there are photos and short clips of dead girls suggesting that there is a lot of death as these girls have died or been killed, which reinforces the conventions of horror. Moreover the the use of these photos also has an effect of the audience as it creates a sense of mystery because it makes the audience think of questions such as "who are they" or "what happened", this hooks the audience and makes them want to watch to the very end of the film to find answers to their questions.
In addition there is also non-diegetic music over the top of the photos that are shown. This creates tension of the very slow tempo of the instruments and the bass in the background which sounds like a heart beating very slowly. Moreover the use of the violins and the minor key that the violin is played in presents the music to be quite mournful as the use of a minor key typically presents the music the sad.
